如何在symfony2中访问自定义类？

Question

I have created a custom class with few method in it. e.g.

 class MyClass{

  method1 ();

  method2();
}

Now I want to create object of this class and use it inside a controller method

class DefaultController{

public function myAction()
{
  //here I want to able to create object of MyClass, is it possible? 
}

}

Q1. where should I store this class in symfony2 structuere e.g. inside src dir?

Q2. How can I use this class method inside the controller of a bundle?

Answer 1

If you put your class in the src folder, it will be autoloaded, ie: you can simply do:

$foo = new \MyClass();
$foo->method1();

in your Controller.

A good approach would be to put your classes in the Bundle you are likely to use them:

src/YourCompany/YourBundle/MyClass.php

In this way however don't forget to put the namespace declaration on top of your MyClass file:

namespace YourCompany\YourBundle;
class MyClass{
   //..
}

You can put your classes on the base folder of your bundle, or use other nested folders to better differentiate a set of classes from each others, for eg:

src/YourCompany/YourBundle/Listener/MyClassListener.php
src/YourCompany/YourBundle/Manager/MyClassManager.php
